What restrictions should we be putting on customers who are using business dba checking accounts as their personal account? Or should we be restricting any activity? What are the risks?

What are the risks?

None on a sole proprietorship, they are one and same person.

I am sorry, I just verified and it is NOT a dba. Simply a business checking account. So, I guess that changes the answer a bit. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks!

Is it a sole proprietorship though? If so, it doesn't change the answer. If it's a partnership or something more complicated, that's potentially a different story.

It is purely a matter of bank policy of what activities you allow to happen in accounts. Now that you know however, if this person is stealing from the corporation, you are on notice.
